When We Wake Up
Chapter 24

"Okay Jason, what's so important this couldn't wait till I got home?" Sonny asked a little annoyed at Jason.

"Someone is threatening our shipment for tonight." Jason stated.

"Threatening how?"

"We keep receiving calls telling us that drugs will be on board and that the cops will receive an anonymous tip. We can't let that happen Sonny,"

"I know I know, so how are we going to handle it?"

"I'm not sure I think we got it covered, but that what I wanted....." Jason stopped talking when he realized that Sonny wasn't paying attention to him. "Sonny?"

"Jason, do you see Carly?" Sonny asked getting worried now.

Jason scanned the room and realized that she was no where in site. "No I don't see her."

"Oh god, I shouldn't have left her." Sonny said getting frantic and started searching the airport. "Jason you head towards the doors and I'll search the inside."

"Okay."

The guys headed off in different directions. Sonny started looking in terminals and checking the desks to see if anyone had a seen a blonde. Of course everyone had seen a blonde. Asking didn't help. He needed to find her.

Jason was about to turn around and find Sonny when out of the corner of his eye Jason saw Carly trying to get a cab. He ran over and grabbed her by the arm.

"Hey what do you think your doing? Get your hands off of me" Carly yelled.

Jason threw his hands up in the air. "Why did you run off?" Jason asked.

"I will not be ignored and I sure as hell won't be left in some airport while you guys talk."

"Well lets go...." Jason reached out for her again and she jumped back.

"I told you not to touch me."

"Fine, sorry, okay, let's go find Sonny."

"Like hell I will." Carly went to turn back to the cab when out of the corner of her eye she saw Sonny coming out the door, heading for them. She jumped up and threw her arms around Jason and kissed him.

Sonny walked out the door just in time to see Carly kiss Jason. He broke off in a run.

Jason was about to push Carly away from him when he felt himself being jerked backwards.

"What the hell do you think you are doing kissing my wife?" Sonny screamed.

"Kissing her???? She kissed me." Jason yelled back.

"Why didn't you push her away?"

"I was gonna but........" Jason started to say.

Carly jumped between the two. "First off don't talk about me like I'm not here. Secondly, What do you care what I do Sonny?"

"Your my wife"

"Your wife??? huh???" Carly yelled. "I wasn't your wife when you...."

Sonny put his hand on her arm and steered her toward the car. "Let's finish this in the car"

Carly jerked away from him. "Fine but the only reason I'm riding with you is because I can't get a cab. Just don't touch me okay?" Carly jumped in when Sonny opened the door and sat on the opposite side of the limo from Sonny.

They rode in silence for about ten minutes till Sonny couldn't stand it anymore. "Look, Carly, I'm really sorry."

"You should be."

"I'm trying to apologize here." Sonny said getting angry that she wouldn't let him speak.

"Fine, okay talk."

"I shouldn't have left you in the airport. I'm just used to doing business and not used to having to put it on the back burner for anyone,"

"Well if you want me to stay you better get used to it." Carly stared at him, the anger slowly draining from her body.

"I'll try, Carly" Sonny patted the seat next to him. "Come here." he asked.

Carly gave in and moved next to him. Sonny put his arm around her. "I'm sorry I kissed Jason. I was upset and when I get upset I lash out."

"Just don't do it again."

"I'll try, but sometimes my mind gets the best of me and I go off. Maybe you'll try keeping me happy so I don't do anything stupid." Carly looked up with hope in her eyes.

"How about we both try together? I do anything for you Carly, I hope you know that." With that Sonny leaned down and kissed her.

Carly broke the kiss when she remembered something. "Speaking of Jason, did we leave him at the airport?"

"Oh shit" Sonny muttered.
